A Word from Elvis

Them

 

Here is a beautiful article from Elvis Costello about the Beatles.

 At the show, it was very different. The second he sang the opening lines — “Close your eyes, and I’ll kiss you” — the crowd’s reaction was so intense that it all but drowned the song out. It was very thrilling but also rather disconcerting. Perhaps I understood in that moment one of the reasons why the Beatles had to stop performing. The songs weren’t theirs anymore. They were everybody’s.

Thanks lads!
